See you round!

Australia now has stronger laws to protect nature.

They’re far from perfect, and we’ve more work to do, but today: we celebrate the power of people.

We celebrate you and everyone who fought for a better deal.

And we celebrate winning new protections and speaking loud for those who do not have a voice.

Tomorrow, we continue the fight.

BREAKING

Australia just took a historic step for nature

After decades of weak laws that left forests unprotected, the government and Greens have struck a deal to overhaul our national nature protections.

For the first time, Australia’s precious and wildlife-rich forests - including critical koala and greater glider habitat - will finally be covered by national law.

This is real progress and it matters. An independent EPA is on the way and the loopholes that helped drive deforestation are being closed.

But the job is not done. Climate harm is still ignored in our national nature law and Australia is living the reality of bleaching, heat and ecosystem collapse.

We will keep pushing until climate counts in every decision and this law delivers the protection nature and communities deserve.

Today is a reset. Now the government must use this law to protect forests and wildlife and say no to new coal and gas.

We call on all Parliamentarians who love our precious and unique nature, who care about the people and industries who rely on it, and want a better future for our children to make sure this legislation truly delivers for the environment and a stronger, healthier Australia.

Former Secretary of the Treasury, Ken Henry, spoke on ABC’s 7:30, on the need to improve Australia’s nature laws.

Every lost bit of nature means more stress on our way of life. Our natural environment is the foundation of jobs, living standards and the economy.
